| Which has higher priority, overhang or VTA? " it seems to me, any time I change the VTA, the overhang is changing also." Theoretically true.But hard to see what the issue is here. You can always reset overhang after adjusting for VTA/SRA.But you really don't have to. As a bit of high sc... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge @catcher101. As for a warranty on a cartridge, I think if it looks right and sounds right from the get-go you’re good to go for the duration. Given proper treatment I’ve never seen a cartridge fail. Have you?2. The last cartridge that I bought fro... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I think I’ll pull the trigger on one of these next week and want to ask current users about VTA/SRA. Have you done much experimenting? Is the cartridge proving sensitive to this adjustment? Are you winding up with your arm level or tail up or tail... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge " I see them on eBay for $950 from Japan & HK. Any experience with those vendors?"No personal experience, but 2juki in HK has been praised by many in the Asylum. Do a search there. I’m thinking of getting an Art-9 and would buy from him. | |
| Parasound to CODA What is it about the Parasound A21 that makes you look for something else? I have been considering the Parasound for my own system. It was someone at Von Schweikert that suggested the Parasound. | |
| Parasound A21 or Bryston 4BSST2? The Sim amp I was using was neutral enough and smooth enough to let all the goodness of a tubed phono preamp (Fosgate) through. So I don't require a pure Class A. Unfortunately that amp is not usable with a heavily damped woofer system. Hence, my ... | |
| Parasound A21 or Bryston 4BSST2? Perhaps you can tell me what speakers you were using, and what were the differences that you heard.In my case the amp will be used with factory upgraded Von Schweikert VR-4JRs. The midrange and tweeters are the same as on the upgraded VR-4SRs. Mos... | |
| VPI setup This $12.50 "New Version Professional LP Digital Turntable Stylus Force Scale Gauge led - US" on eBay will work just fine. | |
| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. I suggest also that you look at the VPI Prime. Also, you might consider a less expensive PSU than the SDS, perhaps the Falcon. The center weight is meant to work with the peripheral weight. If you're not getting the latter, you would be better off... | |
| Best Vinyl Bach - Solo Cello Suites recording? Above I meant Mercury Golden Imports reissue. Sorry. | |
| Why are records still warped? A 180g record, while offering no advantages (except marketing, perhaps) requires more time to cool down. Failure to allow sufficient time for cooling down seems to be a major cause of warping.Actually, if most of your records are 120g or so, 180g ... | |
| Best Vinyl Bach - Solo Cello Suites recording? I cannot tell you how the Mercury Living Preference reissue of the Starker compares with the Speakers Corner, but I can tell you that it is very, very good. Should be relatively inexpensive as a used set. | |
| CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter Yes, that's the theoretical advantage I wrote of. But as a practical matter, given the solid performing longevity of standard oil bath bearing TTs out there, I fail to see a practical advantage of the inverted type, unless it's in the cost of manu... | |
| CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter There is no anger here. I respect and admire VPI. They have been making great products for a long time and their customer support has no peer. Yet like many others in the high end they often make changes for economic reasons, or for regulatory rea... |
